Pho 10 Ly Quoc Su is a Vietnamese restaurant in Hoan Kiem District with a glazed partition that lets customers watch the preparation of noodle soups in the kitchen. The establishment focuses on making pho with clear broth and quality ingredients.
The restaurant was among the first to introduce northern Vietnamese pho with clear broth and simple ingredients to a broader audience. This approach to preparation has been maintained and continues to define the restaurant today.
The restaurant serves traditional northern Vietnamese pho without bean sprouts or meatballs, letting the pure taste of the broth and fresh rice noodles shine through. This style reflects how the dish has been enjoyed in Hanoi for many decades.
